My fiancé wanted someone else's daughter, so I got a new groom.

A month before the wedding, my fiancé, Declan, wanted to have a child with his deceased brother's wife, Briar. He said it was to carry on his brother's line.

I didn't scream or break down. I simply sent a calm text, asking:

"Briar has many ways to have a child, why does it have to be with you?"

But the next second, he FaceTimed me, furious, accusing me of being unreasonable:

"My brother entrusted her to me on his deathbed, and she knows no one here. She only has me to rely on. What's wrong with me having a child with her?"
